The Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera in black blends classic design with modern performance, offering a full-frame sensor housed in a body inspired by vintage SLRs. Its steel-feel construction echoes the aesthetics of Nikon’s film era, while internally, it’s equipped with the latest Z-series technology. Designed with creators in mind, the Zf delivers high-quality imagery and intuitive handling, making it a versatile tool for both photography and video in a familiar, tactile form.
Inspired by the iconic FM2, the Nikon Zf’s immersive and intuitive design features machined edges, knurled dials, and a marbled texture that evoke the tactile appeal of classic film cameras. Its precision-carved aluminum dials for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation offer engraved markings for refined manual control, while the mechanical shutter delivers a satisfying, audible click.
A dedicated black-and-white mode with two monochrome profiles is easily accessible. The electronic viewfinder, housed in a prism-style body, pairs seamlessly with a 3.2″ vari-angle LCD touchscreen, allowing for intuitive focus and tracking adjustments even while your eye remains at the viewfinder. The screen’s full articulation supports flexible shooting angles and front-facing use, enhancing both still and video capture workflows.
The Nikon Zf is equipped with dual memory card slots—one SD and one microSD—for flexible file management, including overflow, backup, and separate format storage options. Its durable magnesium alloy chassis is both dust and weather resistant, built to withstand challenging environments. For enhanced handling and customization, the camera is also compatible with the optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release.
Full-Frame Sensor, Full-Speed Processor
The Nikon Zf features a 24.5MP FX-format BSI CMOS sensor designed for versatile performance, excellent low-light capabilities, and high-speed data readout. Its back-illuminated structure helps minimize noise at high ISOs, making it ideal for challenging lighting conditions. In addition to standard shooting, the camera includes a high-resolution photo mode that merges multiple exposures into a detailed 96MP image for enhanced clarity and depth.
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
Powered by the same EXPEED 7 processor found in Nikon’s flagship Z9 and Z8, the Zf delivers fast autofocus performance, high-speed burst shooting, and seamless video handling. This advanced processor enables a 30 fps burst rate with a silent electronic shutter and 14 fps with the mechanical shutter. Integrated Deep Learning technology enhances Auto Mode by intelligently adjusting exposure settings based on your scene, whether you’re capturing a softly blurred portrait or a sharply focused group shot. Pre-release capture allows the camera to record up to 30 JPEGs a full second before the shutter is pressed, ensuring you never miss the moment.
Advanced Video, Autofocus, and Stabilization
The Zf delivers cinematic UHD 4K video recording oversampled from 6K with full pixel readout at up to 30p, alongside Full HD 1080p recording up to 120p for smooth slow-motion playback. A new shutter-priority mode allows videographers to lock shutter speed while the camera automatically adjusts ISO and aperture for consistent exposure. Internal 10-bit H.265 recording supports SDR, HLG, and N-Log profiles, with recording times up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card, offering flexible and professional-grade video capture in a compact form
Fast and Intelligent Autofocus
Equipped with advanced subject detection powered by Deep Learning, the Zf inherits the intelligent autofocus system of the Z9 and Z8, capable of accurately recognizing and tracking people, pets, birds, vehicles, and more. Eye-Detection AF ensures precise focus on eyes—even when subjects are small in the frame—and now extends to manual focus lenses by automatically magnifying the area around the eyes, helping users confirm sharpness with ease in both photo and video modes.
Vibration Reduction
The Zf features in-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction, offering up to 8 stops of shake compensation with Z-mount lenses—ideal for handheld shooting in low light or at slower shutter speeds. When using adapted F-mount lenses via the optional FTZ Adapter, 3-axis stabilization is applied. Additionally, a focus point vibration reduction system provides stabilization precisely around the active focus point, ensuring steady, sharp results exactly where it matters most.
